Abstract

Redesigning an already furnished room can be challenging, because the existing furniture and clutter makes it difficult to visualize new layouts or styles. ‘Room Reimagined: Making Spaces Empty Again’ is an app that addresses this issue by using AI-powered image processing to remove furniture from pictures of interior spaces. The app generates realistic visuals of empty rooms, allowing users to experiment with different arrangements and design choices without making any physical changes. The technology behind this app employs semantic object detection and background inpainting to create natural-looking empty-room images. The user will then be able to add virtual furniture sourced from local retailers. This will enable them to test styles and configurations in their actual space. For furniture stores and interior designers, the app serves as a platform to display their products in real-world contexts, enabling direct connections between businesses and potential customers.
